    This indie electro-pop album contains ten singular pop songs which blur boundaries between grounded and surrealistic realms. An exciting symbiosis, in which Janssen explores her own striking voice in a myriad of ways. Classical melodies, abstract poetry and free improvisation form a unique connective tissue together. STASJ’s music researches, observes and expands the human spirit.

    The album's art work, photography and graphic design is created by Willem Stapel.
    Except a digital download, Soft Forces is also available in 300 vinyl copies.

about

STASJ channels the soft forces not only with bare emotions, but with humor, absurdism and pure sound as well. Relying on free interpretations of language, STASJ intuitively creates new existential and personal connections.

lyrics

DO YOU

Do you, do you
Do you, do you

Do you ever think of me,
under water, in my favorite month
Do you ever think of me
as the big silence turns you upside down?

This winter was
very kind to me
This winter
we stayed happy

I’ll show you the whiteness of my teeth
before I go
And I will study how you would look at me
and then I’ll know

This winter
nothing felt like frost
This winter
we easily got lost

Your dark fontanel is closed for your protection
Your dark fontanel is closed for your protection

Did you ever phone me
when you drowned?
I wasn’t called and I didn’t want to go
I shut my mouth.

STÄSJ image

STÄSJ Amsterdam, Netherlands

The new era of STÄSJ is defined by ever-expanding beats, poetic lyrics, and sensitive ephemeral vocals. STÄSJ is a flowing river in this landscape, at times meandering, at times cascading, hypnotizing us with refined voice techniques and intricate compositions. The new album is a contemporary reflection on the human condition: the endless quest for growth and need for change that define our being. ... more
